Are there any words about abortion in the bible? They didn't invented it yet back then.
There are 10 rules and basicly 1 golden rule which covers all rules ''treat others the way you want to be treated''.
I can't remember; ''you shall not abort a pregnancy''.

Good to know that you mock all religions and personal spiritual experience equally.
Surely there is a radical difference between "I believe in reincarnation" and "I am an authority because of my past lives." One is a philosophical stance and the other is delusional.
I never claimed authority. I only claim to remember some of my past lives, as thousands of others do.edit on 26-6-2013 by windword because: (no reason given)

Colbe,
I have never been baptized Catholic, attended a Catholic Mass or catechism. I have not ever, in this life, claimed a Catholic affiliation.
I was Catholic in several of my past lives. I shared 2 of them with you. Take it or leave it.

I'll take it, my mistake, I am sorry but "past lives" is not true. We die once, then comes our particular judgment.
Explain, why do you spend your time attacking the faith? The miraculous in history and recent famous science tested miracles all point to the faith ~ Roman Catholicism.
Your question for Charles, Roman Catholicism, a discipline can change but her teachings have not changed since the Apostles heard them from Christ. The RCC cannot error on faith and morals, a gift from God.

But I think I'm missing your point. Say that, no matter how impossible it seems, someday the Church will change it's teaching on abortion. How does that affect Pelosi going against Church teaching today? Some day, the speed limit through my town will go from 30 to 45. Ok, fine, but if I try it today, I'll get a ticket. Why shouldn't Pelosi?

Well, Colbe, what if God judges that a soul should return to earth, either to continue with spreading the good word, to finish unfinished business or as a punishment of sorts?
Leave Christ to the Christians and go off and do your own thing

You Catholics don't own the teachings of Jesus, they belong to world.

The problem is that you don't follow the teachings of Jesus,
you follow what you think that the teachings of Jesus should have been,
so you might as well follow someone who actually did teach what you want to believe.
yes, Christians "own" the teachings of Jesus.

So do you.
What I follow are the teachings of Christ, who is represented in the New Testament. He did not teach reincarnation, abortion rights, or the privilege of putting words in his mouth to create your own custom religion.

If 99% of scripture, for example, is in support of the rejection of reincarnation, and 1% can be read to support it,
